Decided to start a training log on here purely to track my workouts/ Nutrition/ progress etc. It is purely for my benefit to keep this log so please keep any unconstructive critisism to yourself about pictures posted/ workouts/ nutrition if your not going to give your views on how I could improve.

Constructive critisism is very welcome!

Im 21, been training since 17 and have set myself a goal to improve my physique as much as possible over the next 16 weeks beginning Monday

Im beginning with a short 6 week cut followed by a clean 10 week bulk and we'll see where I end up.

Will be incorporating fasted cardio in the early am before work.
You will notice when I start posting my nutrition up that I have 3 liquid meals a day 2 2scoop whey shakes, and a cnp meal replacement. I have a very active job and only get 30 minutes break between starting at 8am and finishing at around 6:30 this means i have to have these on the go..

Off to do my weekly food shop in less than an hours time.. need some sort of low carb, low fat, low sodium source/ herbs to change the taste of my eggs though as after about 3 years of eating them every morning im starting to get sick of them haha..

Welcome to the forum Dan. Read some of your posts and liked what you had to say.

After a round a month of been jobless and eating what i could, when i could im finally back in a position to afford what i need and make this change happen!

Thank you! I know this is a lifestyle and im in for the long haul but thought it would be interesting to see how far i could push myself, and how much my physique could change over a 16 week period.

Starting pics will be taken tomorrow morning but put up either Wednesday/Thursday this week as im taking the pictures on my blackberry phone and waiting for a usb for my phone to be delivered so I can upload them. I know I look pretty bad at the moment but in all honesty dont care, im just after the end result.

Preacher curls - using the ez bar(7kg bar) - weight not including the bar
wk -
30kg(15kg plate a side) x12
35kg x8
20kg x20
20kg x20 (rested 10 seconds at 10 reps before getting the last 10 out)
the last 10 of each 20 rep set i was really concentrating on the stretch and squeeze.. it burned..

Overall -
good workout still getting used to training in the evening but think im adapting well.. looking forward to killing every workout at 200% over the next 16 weeks.. determined I will lose some fat and gain some muscle and strength eating clean as possible.. want my usb cable to arrive so i can start putting pics/ vids up etc.. hurry up royal mail!

BRING IT!
